I had to have a 24hr urine test to see if my adrenal gland wasn't giving off too much adrenaline which could be causing my high BP, I had one with acid, and another without, so technically I had a 48 hour urine test.
My doctor said something came back ever so slightly high about .3 of something which I can't remember what she said, but apart from that she said everything was clear. I think they were checking for Catecholamine, and I'm pretty sure she said it was the cortisol that was ever so slightly high,
And she booked an appointment with the cardiologist to see what they want to do, either do the urine test again or something else. ( that appointment is next week )
I asked my doctor what they would do if it's high again and she said they'd give me tablets, but I don't believe that? can doctors lie, well not lie, but sugar coat something because she knows I will 'google' and get worried?
And is high cortisol normal for people with stress? or anxiety.
